age gap

[carolynadaleyme]

I am 39 weeks with my second boy.. my oldest is 9 and insit he is not interested in being a big brother anyone else with a significant age gap. How did your child handle the news??

Im hoping he'll get over it not only has he been an only child but an only grandchild to my parents who are 15 minutes away and he is a sweetie but spoiled rotten. Hr definitely has mentioned no longer being the center of attention surely didn't want him to be an only child

All of my children are spread  out.  My oldest is 17 then 11 then 6 and im 13 weeks pregnant.  My two youngest are super excited.  My oldest doesn't seem to care.  It's definitely interesting dealing with so many age groups at one time.

Im 32 having my first but have 2 step daughters 14 and 11 whom do not seem excited at all. I'm sure when the baby arrives this will change. I think siblings are used to the way things are and worried about not having all the attention. I know my 14 year old was worried about being able to still go shopping and be driven around to her activities. Their priorities at these ages are toally selfish and thats completely normal.
